I went for a couple of blue egg layers (silverlines/ skylines oh I cant remember I was too excited)

 

Anyway I came out with 3 blue egg layers plus a silver nick, a speckledy,and a lovely white star!!

 

Luckily OH has forgiven me!

We have our hens in a stable(yes I know people normally keep horses in them )

 

We have our eglu cube inside the stable now, it used to be in the outside run. They dont really need it in there I dont think but they do tend to sleep in it. Although the new ones slept on top of it last night! There are plenty of other places for them to roost in the stable!

 

They have a hole knocked in the back wall so thet can get out to their run. We are lucky enough to live on an ex farm, so there is still room for more.

Not sure about the pure breeds the ones I got are hybrids. They had some lovely looking buff orpingtongs and cream legbars though, but I didnt dare ask if they were for sale at the mo!

Deejmum - wow you are lucky

Their Orps are gorgeous aren`t they Might have to pretend I haven`t seen your post or get OH to hide the car keys as i have an overwhelming urge to pop down the A1 to get a couple of skylines

[deejmum]

Good luck if you do, it might be worth ringing first as they sell out quickly.

According to their website, their first batch of 2009 pure breeds are available from the 22nd of August. First come, first served.

 

Their white-laced wyandottes are absolutely beautiful...
